Case Summary:

An Indian Research Assistant Professor hired North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to build a customized EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition for him. In preparing our client’s EB1-A petition, we took into consideration USCIS adjudication trends at the time as well as our client’s background, achievements, and contributions to the field of Materials Chemistry. His case was approved in only 9 days thanks to Premium Processing (PP).

Our client’s specialized research in Materials Chemistry has focused on the development of novel nanoparticles, which is critical in realizing ways to fabricate cutting edge nanomaterials for a variety of medical and technological purposes. These research works can greatly contribute to various applications in the development of nanoporous membrane materials, novel drug delivery vehicles, and the characterization of asphaltene for crude oil production; moreover, these applications can benefit fields including biomedicine, materials sciences, public health on a larger context.

He has also demonstrated his exceptional research performance by production of multiple highly cited papers that rank in the top 10% by citations for his field and of the year. At the time we filed his case, he has published 18 peer-reviewed scientific articles and reviewed the work of his peers 13 times in several highly distinguished journals. Our team carefully investigated the 184 citations he accumulated, and found out that the citations all came from leading academic institutions around the world. In our customized petition letter, we have presented extensive documentation to prove that our client is not only extending the frontier of Materials Chemistry, but is also gaining knowledge and innovations for the US.

We also encouraged our client to contact experts of the same field for recommendation letters. Here is how one of the recommenders described our client and his research: “As a result of this and his many other notable research projects, [client] has written and published 18 peer-reviewed articles. His work has appeared in some of the most highly-ranked publications in his field, including(…). These journals represent some of the highest-ranked in the field of material chemistry and have extremely high standards for the work that they publish. Their support of [client]’s work is therefore strong evidence of its considerable utility to his peers and its significance to the scientific community”.

We are pleased that our efforts paved the way for his EB1A petition approval. We congratulate our client for completing this significant first step in the green card process, and we are glad to list his case among our 12,000 success stories.
